THE QUARRY

Sometimes being watchful and listening in stillness reveals the path of a meaningful journey. If you’re lucky, you will have the reward of sharing the adventure with others.

The inspiration for The Quarry began at this very spot two centuries ago. Generations of miners applied ingenuity and fortitude, combined them with nature’s unspoiled materials of earth and water, and built a legacy.

They showed us to respect what New England provides as ingredients. And so we honor that philosophy by cooking with restraint, sharing the heritage of cocktails or wines, and enjoying this landscape with you. This is the essence of what we proudly present to you today.

For five decades, the State Theater also known as the Milton Cinema served as the entertainment destination for the East Milton community providing showings of classic films such as “Ben-Hur,” “West Side Story” and “Jaws.” Unfortunately, as the new multiplex cinemas started to open, a single screen theater could no longer compete, and the theater closed its doors in 1987. The cinema sat empty for years and was used as a storage facility for Abby Park co-owner, Vance Welch’s Java Jo’s cafe. A devastating fire in 2007 rendered the space unusable, and the building has been unoccupied since.
A Milton real estate firm – Falconi Companies – with strong personal ties to the area, purchased the building in 2014 and has started a major renovation of the old theater building and surrounding space. To address a well-documented issue of parking in East Milton Square and to further demonstrate their financial commitment to the project, Falconi Companies purchased two adjacent homes behind the building and converted the land to restaurant parking.
After careful consideration of the history of the building and the unmet needs of the community, a casual Italian restaurant concept is being developed with prominent designer Steve Todisco, who has designed other visually-appealing restaurant spaces, such as Boston’s Davio’s restaurant and Abby Park. Steve was able to make great use of the space showcasing the 23-foot ceiling of the former movie theater. His design also inspired: a large island bar with access through glass-folding doors, and a 20-person courtyard, a display (“stage”) kitchen, and a large roll down projection screen (for viewing sporting events and live video streaming of restaurant and community events). Steve also designed a wine room with wood beams and rustic lighting to support small parties, and has ensured that the Adams Street entry will retain the character of the movie theater while also providing a takeout area for menu items.
Novara rivals the quality and authenticity of Boston’s North End restaurants in a suburban setting while remaining a casual neighborhood bar and restaurant. The culinary team is led by Executive Chef Anthony DeRienzo who will incorporate elements of his Italian heritage in a menu that is appealing and approachable. Tony’s passion for cooking was ignited at a young age thanks in large part to his Italian mother, Raffaela. At Johnson and Wales DeRienzo refined his talents and upon graduating in 1994 he joined the culinary staff at Ambrosia. Over the next few years Tony thrived under the leadership of such renowned chefs as Tony Ambrose of Ambrosia on Huntington and Lydia Shire of Biba, Scampo, Pignoli, and others.

Boston is a city of history. It is fitting that the hallowed grounds of Fenway Park have been a mecca for baseball history for nearly a century.
As the oldest current baseball stadium in the country, Fenway has a different feel than any of its newer billion dollar counterparts. You cannot escape the history that has transformed itself into legend.
From Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, to Bucky Dent, Yaz, and the current World Champions, Fenway Park has seen amazing victories and crushing defeats. Every year another page is added to the storied past.
Fenway Park itself has evolved every year as well, with the addition of seats, concessions, and luxury boxes, all adding to the future without marring the integrity of stadium and its history. This year is no different in the continuing evolution, as another historic addition has been brought to the park.
Lying beneath the bleachers in center field, a few feet from Ted Williams Red Seat, is newest addition to Fenway. A unique bar, where the patrons are treated to not only great food and drink, but an unprecedented baseball experience. With a window that looks directly through centerfield and into the park, it is the only view of its kind.
We would like to welcome you to Fenway’s newest annex, a place where you can not only relax and an enjoy and extraordinary bar experience, but a place where you can feel the very history that is Fenway Park.
Welcome to Bleacher Bar.

During extensive renovations in 2010 and 2011, owners Kenneth Osherow and Driscoll DoCanto transformed this former tavern into a warm and inviting space, opening the kitchen and creating additional window space for a well lit, open air environment. The hostess station, columns and exquisite bar were hand crafted by locals from salvaged Vermont oak. Most of the SBK staff originate from the surrounding community which enhances the neighborhood charm and relaxed environment.
The SBK offers a diverse wine list with over 20 wines by the glass from all over the world and an extensive cocktail list featuring unique and exciting cocktails.

The venue itself has a long and colorful history. Originally Bulldogs Tavern in the 70’s, it was owned by Edward “The Bull Dog” Connors. After Bulldogs closed, the restaurant was re-christened the Rock Hill Tavern, as the Savin Hill neighborhood was previously known. It was then purchased around 2000 by Arthur Donovan, former proprietor of the once renowned Patty’s Pantry on Dorchester Ave. The restaurant was remodeled as C.F.Donovan’s and gained a loyal following as a neighborhood bar and restaurant. In 2009, C.F. Donovan’s closed its doors. The building and restaurant were acquired by the current owners in August of 2010 and opened as the Savin Bar and Kitchen in March of the following year.
With a long history as a vibrant eating and drinking establishment, the current owners plan to run a neighborhood gathering place for many years to come. The SBK continues to be a meeting ground for many locals, friends and neighbors. Patrons hail from all over the area including Savin Hill, Jones Hill, South Boston, throughout Dorchester, the South End and many surrounding towns and communities.
From the entire SBK Team, we look forward to serving you very soon.
